EU remarks on Israeli settlements, just noise: Commentator
The European Union’s latest statement over Israeli settlements will not result in any action against the Tel Aviv regime, says a political commentator.
“This is just the typical chirping and honking that comes out of the West whether it is the EU, whether it is the United Nations, whether it is the United States, it is just noise that is there to give the appearance that there is some independent thinking and independent foreign policy between the West and Israel,” Mark Glenn told Press TV.
The European Union has denounced the Israel regime over its decision to construct nearly 100 new settler units in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, stating that the move kills off the prospects for peace.
On Wednesday, US State Department’s deputy spokesman, Mark Toner, castigated the Israeli regime for its plan to create a new illegal settlement on the West Bank, describing the move as “deeply troubling” that would seriously undermine the prospects for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The harsh words came three weeks after Israel signed a lucrative military aid package with the United States to bolster its military capabilities.
Glen further stated Israel is going to use American taxpayer money to further “colonize” the Palestinian land.
He went on to say the real intention of Israel is to “steal” all the land between the Nile and the Euphrates River.
The commentator also argued the Israelis fully intend to “conquer” the Middle East even if it means drowning the entire world in war and bloodshed in the process.
Over half a million Israelis live in more than 230 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem al-Quds.
All Israeli settlements are illegal under international law. Tel Aviv has defied international calls to stop the settlements expansion in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Israel’s settlement expansion has been among the main reasons behind the collapse of the last round of the so-called Middle East peace talks in 2014.
